if y'all are like me, then you love stars.
i think that stars seem to fit well in both traditional & modern quilting.

take debonaire, for example.
at first glance, one would quickly assume that it's a very traditional quilt.

but if you just tweak your fabric choices . . .
you've got yourselves a very modern quilt.

i love it when designs/patterns can pull off a double life, don't y'all???
:)

let's have a little fun, shall we?!?!
we're going to give FIVE lucky peeps a debonaire pattern of their own.
to enter, go look at fat quarter shop's coming soon page.
pick two fabric lines, one traditional and one modern.
then come back here and leave a comment through rafflecopter telling us which lines you'd like your debonaire quilts to be.

a Rafflecopter giveaway&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js"&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;.

For tradional, I pick Vinatge Modern, and for modern I pick Tempo Lime. They both have wonderful color palettes. I would love to receive this pattern, I'm sure it's full of tips to get those star points to come together!!

For a traditional looking quilt I would choose Friendship by Howard Marcus, and for a more modern look I would pick Floral Whimsy by Northcott Fabric. I think that the debonaire is versatile and would look great using almost any fabric collection. Thanks for a chance.

I would choose my traditional fabric to be Heather Bostic's Bloggers Choice. I love the purples and the tans together! And for the modern I would choose Skyscraper colorway of Grand Hotel. I'm a sucker for a good maroon! :) Thanks!

I loved your pattern before and now I love it even more! Very fun look to the stars. I would love FG fabrics... the Petite odile line coming out, because it looks like yours but I am lusting after Lucy's Crab Shack by Sweetwater for a fun beachy look that I think would make a great summer quilt.

I don't think Rafflecopter posted correctly either so, I too am leaving a comment here. For the Debonaire pattern in Traditional I choose "Fearless Women of Courage" by Nancy Gere and for Modern I choose "Apple of My Eye" by The Quilted Fish. Thank you!

Modern: Definitely "Poetica by Pat Bravo for Art Gallery Fabrics"!!! I plan to use this collection for my baby girl's nursery (coming in May!), and I think this will have to be the quilt pattern I use, too!

Traditional:"White Christmas Stonehenge by Linda Ludovico for Northcott Fabrics" This would make a beautiful and elegant Christmas quilt.

Posting here because I couldn't with the Rafflecopter 8-(My two choices would be Daydreams III by Stephanie Brandenburg for Camelot Cottons, (Love Love Love!) and Serenade by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics.

I'm still very confused as to what a true "traditional" vs "modern" fabric choice would be.

I think that Ooh La La by BunnyHill would be my traditional choice

And I'd choose Hello Luscious by Basic Grey as my modern choice.

It would be awesome if there could be some feedback to some of the choices those of us who say they are confused as to the difference if we chose the correct way so we had some idea if we're looking at it the right way or not. I know that's probably a huge amount of time to spend but it would help those of us who seem to be confused between the two. Thank you so much if someone did have some time to help us out.

I'm with others and am a little confused as to what makes a fabric line traditional vs. modern. But my choices would be:Traditional: California GirlModern:Hello LusciousThanks for a chance to win.rhianneholmes(at)hotmail(dot)com
